Btw, I was listening to this without headphones and my roommates didn't know that I was studying and weren't paying much attention. Turns out they concluded I was watching a tutorial on realistic anatomical drawings (heart, organ, tear) and I only figured it out because they wanted to see if a child's brain really looks that much different.
There's a lot of heart sketches in my school bathroom lol
LOL
I gotcha, I undertood your bars.
Show that's to your mom.
LMAOOO
and the high school textbooks too XD
心 = 訓読み (こころ) | 音読み (シン）
悲しい = 訓読み (かな) | 音読み (ヒ）
思う = 訓読み (おも）| 音読み (シ）
亡くなる = 訓読み (な)| 音読み (ゾウ）
忘れる = 訓読み (わす) | 音読み (ボウ)

For the unaware, and those who want to make recognising body part kanji easier: the moon (月) radical is actually a squashed meat (肉) radical. It’s a bit more obvious when you look at the Chinese version of that radical ⺼
So there isn’t a moon in all the body parts, there’s flesh in all the body parts.
Originaly the 3rd and 4th strokes
(丿￣亅ーー)
1st 丿
2nd ￣亅
3rd ー
4th ー
in つきへん(月) were not connected to the 2nd stroke (亅) but they were connected in にくづき(月) but now in modern fonts this difference is no longer apparant
A way to remember which is which is just to see the location, if it's to the left or bottom it's 肉づき, but if it's to anywhere else it's つき(月:🌒)
I treat it just like 貝, if it's alone it means Shellfish, but if it's a radical then Most of the time it means money, like 買 or 員 or 貧 or 負
Yooooooo that's so cool
What about in words like 湖 (Lake)?
氵, 古, and 月 (the radical, not the actual Moon lol)
@@numburger 湖means lake，氵is what we said “three dots water” in Chinese, which suggests the kanji is about water.
胡itself is a Chinese character which suggests the sound. Both 湖 and 胡 are pronounced “hu2” (sound “who”) in Chinese.
Now what does 胡 means？It means mustache, so again it is a part of the body.
By the way, the left part of 胡 is 古 (means old or ancient) which is pronounced gu3(goo) in Chinese suggesting that 胡 has this “oo” sound.
But the moon's made of cheese not meat, right? Right!?
I would have never guessed that the 田 in 思 was meant to represent a child's brain o.O I always remembered it by thinking that japanese people were always thinking about how much they love rice fields 😅
In Heisig's book (look it up, if you are not familiar with it) he pairs it with simply "brain".
@@peepingtom9342 Yeah. For example, with 胃, the top part originally meant rice field and the bottom originally meant month, but as primitives, they mean brain and body part, respectively.
Then I got "The brain is powered by what body part? The stomach."
ye
The kanji 田 in the sens of child's brain come from the chinese character 囟 meaning "fontanelle" and anathomicaly a child's skull with fontanelle is divided in 4 parts ( 2 frontal bones + 2 parietal bones), that's for the growning up of the child's skull can follows the growing up of child's brain.
How odd how the kanji for 心 actually looks like a heart chamber with arteries and veins to me. IDK where thAT sketch came from though. Hahahaha
I thought the same thing lol
I love this lesson! I've been struggling to learn kanji. I was surprised to find out most Japanese don't know how to write kanji and recognizing kanji is good enough. I would love more of these kanji videos Misa sensei! 💕
She said, "I love you" at the end 🥺🥰😙🤗😍
WE LOVE YOU TOO MISA 先生!!! 🙌
Kanji lessons are always very educational.
We are happy you keep smiling and laughing.
This is really cool, I have been looking for more learning kanji through etymology videos and this is perfect! I have seen videos of Japanese learning English words through etymology which is really neat to see. Apparently this is a new thing to do or at least I have not seen a lot of people teach kanji this way but for me learning the etymology really helps me retain it better.
I love etymology too! It's so interesting and intriguing. Do you know Richard Sears (aka "uncle hanzi")? He digitalized thousands of ancient kanji and their evolution.
The thing is many of them have changed so much through time that they don't even resemble their origin. Or others are used just as a phonetic guide, that is, in terms of symbolism, the image does not represent the actual word but just the sound of it.
Thank you soooo much!!! It was such a great lesson! So much easier to remember kanji like this
Etymology always makes me remember kanji better. Please make more of such lessons, Misa-sensei, they are really helpful.
Having a lot of trouble trying to find where to learn kanji online, so far this video/series is helping the most. A well deserved like.
Writing kanji actually helps in memorization. It also helps you distinguish similar looking kanji. So, although Misa has a point, you're generally not required to write complex characters, it still helps a ton when learning.
It really amazes me to see that a language can use such a complex writing system!
I've seen a lot of kanji videos, including your old ones, but this is hands down the best kanji tutorial I've ever seen since you include etymology I've never even heard of or seen covered anywhere else!
Please make more for the other 2000 daily-use kanji (probably impossible, but please make as many as you can).
2:28 Sasageyo! Sasageyo! Stop it, nows not the time.
totally me 😂😂😂😂
I Had the same thought omg
I immediately started looking for comments, because i know i wasnt the only one to put my hand on my chest and say SASAGEYO
その説明はとても素晴らしかった、ミサ先生。本当にありがとう。この主語の次のビデオを楽しみしています！
"Kanji for kokoro looks like this"
..... I see......
I've been waiting a video like this for months! Thank you so muuuuch
thank you so much! i have such a hard time with kanji, my memory is really bad and kanji is so complicated it makes it hard to retain any of it. but this helps simplify it a bit!
がんばってね ٩(^ヮ^ )۶ If you write them down and search it on the internet you will eventually remember them. Like in movie tittles, or the news etc.
I'm making short kanji mnemonic animations to help memorize them too. Maybe you find it useful
For memorization, I found very useful the style suggested by the book "Remember the Kanji" (and similar websites like koohii)
I find the Kanji Tree app super helpful too. It's very cheap and even the free version doesn't have ads.
Hm from an anatomical point of view it actually looks like a heart , the down longest stroke is the left ventricule , the stroke on the right is the cavus vein , while the stroke on the right is the pulmonary vein , and the one on top is the aorta
Misa-sensei, thank you so much for deciding to make this much needed video series!! I'm a third year Japanese uni student and sometimes I still struggle to remember the most complex kanji. Actually, my greatest problem is remembering the stroke order when writing, but I'm sure reviewing with you will be of great help!
This is great for me! I find it hard to just see the kanji and simply memorize it. It's like looking at lines and eventually they all start to look similar. I find it much easier when i learn them through symbolism. It's also easier to learn different ones that branch from that. I wish everyone taught kanji this way. Thank you so much for your effort!
THIS! THIS! thank you very much!, very good video (best I could find about kanjis so far).
I´ll try to support with what little I can
OMG!!!! That’s the EXACTLY type of kanji videos that I REALLY like. Not only learn the kanji but the meaning behind the kanji shape. Amazing!!! Please make more videos like this one.
Thanks for the great lesson. Please continue teaching kanji.
please keep going misa. ive never managed to finish a video except this one. a good 15 minute lesson with about 5 easy kanji and good examples is perfect.
Thanks a lot, this video is really helpful to remember not only the kanji as itself, but also the basics.
i love how you picked the most usefull one for us for the thumbnail.
Thank you for this lesson, I'm near to give up on Japanese because I don't have enough time but if you make more of these videos, it will be a lot easier. Thank you so much. ❤
Don't give up! Just take it nice and slow. :D
When you first showed 思 omo(u), I immediately thought "oh! So it's like mental plotting. To think is like cultivating land, but in the mind!"
And That's So Cool! 凄いよ thanks for giving etymology with the lessons, Misa San! I know it may take longer, but I'm learning new kanji faster, and faster, with each new piece to this beautiful language puzzle
I am already loving this series so much! I also study chinese and it's interesting how in many of the radicals and kanjis themselves the meaning was retained.
This video is the one we needed! SHARING!
I'm so thankful for your Channel!! My gratitude can't be described!
Please do more of the etymology lessons. Really helps me remember writing the kanji especially when you break down the pictographs.
I've been watching your videos for a year now and thanks to them I could actually skip a few courses in my language school - 5 semesters to be exact! It's unbelievable how much you can learn with your videos. I especially love the grammar section. For me it's just so much easier to learn while listening, than just by looking at a textbook. Since I am learning for JLPT N4 now, I realized how bad my kanji knowledge is. Were it not for kanji, I could pass the test now :) So a series on kanji ist just exactly what I needed! Thank you so much Misa-Sensei!!! Greetings from Germany!!!
this is the only RUclips channel that I have notifications turned on.
Thank you for explaining the pictograph for 非. I knew it often marked the ひ onyomi in 緋 , 悲, etc... but I didn't know it served a meaning function as well. 👍
Misa - I know it's old but thank you for these beginner Kanji videos. They help me. 👍
Thank You Misa Sensei. Please help us with more such Kanji Lessons.
Please do the Jōyō kanji list like this
thank you so much please never stop your amazing work 💓
Great video. I like it how you break down the kanjis and tell exactly what they mean and how they are used in other places. hard to find useful details like that even in etymologies in books.
I've also seen 心 in 窓 and in 息子.

The perks of Patreon!
I wouldn't mind knowing Japanese sooner 🤔
Maybe one day 😅
Yes? Radical Kanji.😉😉
Thank you for drawing the boxes around the different Kanji that are together I never visualized Kanji in this way before. I did not notice the similarities until now
Great timing! I’ve been needing methods to memorize kanji. ありがとうございます 😃
Do you find mnemonics useful to memorize them?
@@minutekanji7082 I actually haven’t tried to learn in that method it’s seemed too convoluted and overwhelming at first, learning stroke order for kanji did help a lot to write faster and some memorization but I don’t feel like I’m retaining as much as I would have hoped. So I am considering trying the mnemonics method.
@@JEMUZU444 It depends on the person's way of thinking but, I also find exausting the stroke repeating method. That's why I started animating them or searching the etymology when possible, so it has some story behind that I can remember. I'd love to know your opinion as student if you find it useful (^ｖ^)
@@minutekanji7082 Already subscribed! I like the animations, they are excellent!
@@JEMUZU444 ありがとうございます! I hope you achieve your learning goals ☺️
Thank you, Misa sensei! Please keep up with this series!!
Super helpful! Thank you for another video.
You're always so clear with your lessons.
Kanji videos are extra important for anyone learning at home.
i love much the way you teach about kanji. Please up load more... i learned 4 step of your kanji lesson ( biginners #1, #2, #3, and number). thank you very much and i'm still waiting...
I already knew all these kanji but I watched the video anyway because of the ethimology, it's so interesting!
I love your format, I even watched your older kanji "tutorials" hehe :P Keep it up, please! ♥
I love kanji etymology, as it helps me understand and remember them better! Please keep doing this, your lessons are always super easy and nice to listen to! Thank you so much, みさ先生!
I love learning through etymology! Thank you!
more of this please! really helpful
Another video to add to my "Kanji with Misa" playlist!
What a great lesson! I will admit that when I was first notified of this video (I'm a subscriber) I gave it a miss as I've always viewed kanji as too difficult to even try learning. But today I had a bit of spare time so I thought I'd have a look (and seeing Misa always cheers me up anyway!) and I am so impressed. The teaching style is perfect. I actually knew all the vocabulary already, so Misa was just connecting the kanji to words I already knew, which made it much easier to remember, and she explained the kanji origin and use perfectly. I will now definitely remember these kanji. Amazing! I'm now definitely going to watch the rest of this series. Maybe I will learn kanji after all!
I love Etymology for learning Kanjis. It makes it much easier
This is so very helpful!!!thank you misa sensei!!!
Yes. Let's learn Kanji. 🙂🤗🤗
Thank you very much for your hard work here Misa! You are so nice
Thank you for being so passionate about teaching!!!!
Got my notes out
Sitting comfortably
Let’s get to learning!
勉強しろ一ましょう!
Your videos are so informative. It's absolutely incredible to have this kind of education for free, thank you!
I really like this format. It's very effective and clear when you break it down.
i knew it! after 20 years of searching, I have finally found out the true shape of the heart lol. the fun part is that now after I saw it I can't get it out of my mind
Thank you very much. Ive just started my kanji journey. ♥️
Love this content I hope this will go on everyday cause its easy to understand when a person teaches
I am learning Japanese and kanji scares me. I don't know where to start, without a chart as Hiragana and katakana have, but this was good. You even went over radicals, which I just learned from a different video. I also just learned when dealing with kanji there is no particular order, or alphabet like English, so it seems beginners learn it randomly.
Thanks for lesson, which gives deeper meaning to words!
really enjoyed this video ,great to learn the entomology of the kanji , thank you misa san
thanky you. Good to have you back
Thank you for another brilliant video Misa-sensei!
このビデオは役に立ちます！みさ先生、ありがとうございます🙏
This made me think that I should try learning the radicals by 心 to have easier time remembering the other kanji. Great video.
I knew the kanji but learning the etymology is really cool and can help me recognise new kanji! Learning that 悲 is representing a broken heart was really cool, ありがとうございますミサ先生！
心= こころ (heart; mind; spirit)
悲しい= かなしい (sad)
思う= おもう(to think)
忘れる= わすれる(to forget)
亡くなる= なくなる(to pass away)
amazing teaching, got interested to learn kanji after watching this すごい
Love watching while learning thank you
OMG please more of these! they're so useful
Hi Misa, I just found your channel and I really like your videos! Also, your shirt is super cute 💙 Thank you for the lesson!
You are amazing Misa Sensei!! We love your lessons!! Thank you so much!
Thanks Misa! Looking forward to this series! ^ ^
Please continue this series Misa Sensei! This video was very helpful for me, especially bc I'm still at a beginner level
Great teacher you are. Thanks. 僕の心が取られた。☺️
I knew all the kanji and still learned something. nice.
Thank you for all the examples and details! Your videos are always educational but also a lot of fun to watch on top of that 🎉🎉
悲 isnt a pictograph I dont think. 非 means "wrong" or "not" but I think its just in this kanji for phonetic reasons. its pronunciation in Old Chinese was similar to "sad"
I have used Kanjigen in the past for etymology but i think that's just one of the etymology methods right? With Japanese you could either learn the meanings of radicals and remember the connection as suggested by textbooks/dictionaries or make a little story for each kanji to help you remember the meaning.
The radicals also in many cases give the on'yomi to the kanji so it can be helpful to read an unknown kanji.
Reading the parts of a kanji can help you roughly figure out the meaning, i have done this in literature where the kanji used are obscure but the reading could be of a known word.
Kanji are really hard to learn though. Having a strong memory (unlike me) is essential to advance to higher levels.
It's was wonderful lesson.💖 Thank you soo much. I really like how you orginized the lesson.
Thank you, Misa! I've been struggling with learning Kanji for a long time. Having a native speaker teach me not only what it means and how to say it, but the meaning and origin behind the pictograms is SUPER helpful! 10/10 best teacher.
Thank you for explaining.
this is gonna be fun. I've prepared a very thick notebook.
先生。please make a video about what nanorigana, okurigana, etc are
Regarding the radical 月 : The heisig method gave a mnemonic way to remember the kanji for "companion" which is "月月" with refering to the first companion from the bible... eve, who is also called "flesh of my flesh" -> 月月 ... now I can transfer it to the radical 月as "flesh".
.... Just remember the heisig method is from the 60s, so you guys will encounter more christian mythology approaches, but it helps.
wow this is such a good video!!! i love learning about kanji this way!
I will gladly incorporate these videos in my routine. Thank you.
For me the heart symbol of kanji is really like the heart
It has 4 chamber and also shape like real heart when you
cut to open it

I also attend some Japanese classes but couldn’t learn much .
I hope I can get a better results watching your programs.

I am an intermediate learner and I can't believe I learned 臓 so fast!
Thank you so much, I will share your video with my japanese learning group, your teaching tecnique is awesome. 🌟
(Before this, I hated learning kanjis with 臣, it's so ugly ahah)
